Nothing Compares to Our Relationship with Jesus
I’m thinking about a lot of things as surgery approaches tomorrow for the third time in a year with this cancer and it occurred to me, you ever take a minute and look around your life and reflect on the blessing He has given you? I’m sure you have, we all do at times. This morning, as I am digging into the word, I am reflecting on some of those things and it struck me that much of what I am grateful for are things of this world. Things of the flesh. Now I suppose it’s completely normal and it’s good to be grateful, but the more I wondered about it the more I realized that in light of what we have in Christ, nothing compares. Nothing this world has to offer comes even close to the blessing of having a personal relationship with Jesus… NOTHING.May our hearts yearn for more of Him and less of this world. May we be a world who seeks after God’s righteousness, not out of pride but out of love. May we yearn for more of Him because He first loved us.This brings me back to center and gives me balance. “But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.”Philippians 3:7 Be Nice. Grace wins.
